Front-end scheduling provides a new way for Mac users to seamlessly switch between various apps and windows while focusing on the work in front of them. Continuity Camera Use your iPhone as your Mac's webcam for more than ever before (sysin). Handoff is now available for FaceTime calls, allowing users to start a FaceTime call on their iPhone or iPad and seamlessly transfer it to their Mac. Both the mail app and the message app have added major functions and are more powerful. The fastest Safari browser (sysin) on the Mac introduces passkeys, ushering in a password-free era.

Advantages of ISO images

Compared with the official pkg image (there is also an ipsw image, but only for Apple chips), and the dmg image produced by a third party, the ISO format has the following advantages:

You can directly drag and drop it to the Applications directory for upgrade installation without administrator privileges
You can directly double-click to mount, execute commands to write to a USB storage device or other volume, and then start a new installation (no need to drag and drop to the "Applications" directory)
Virtual machine installation can be started directly, the media itself is a bootable image
Can write to USB storage devices under Windows and Linux, create USB bootable installation media
